Thread: LibreOffice Regex: replace [:alpha:]$

hi there,

friend lost dissertation , had pdf copy of it. trying convert pdf odt format. after copy-pasting content odt, need replace paragraph breaks not following dot space. thought of using regular expression feature of libre office. i've not succeeded far.

tried: replace [:alpha:]$ or [a-z]$ or [a-z]\>$ space, none of them worked.
finding [a-z] seems work, finding [a-z]\> too. did finding $ (end of paragraph) if combine regex $ doesn't find anything.

can help? thanks.

two 3 steps might work (try on copy first).

1. remove paragraph marks

find $ replace ' ' (a space)
find

code:

$

use single space in replace box

2. find '.' , replace ".new line".

find

code:

([:alpha:])\.

replace

code:

$1.\n

3. remove excess white space @ front of lines

find

code:

^ *([:alpha:])

replace

code:

$1

that should close
